Great food and very tasty. We like breakfast burritos and the polish dog. They have outside eating area too.

Soooo gross!!! Had breakfast there last week. Kept hearing beeping like a microwave and sure enough. The green Chile taste like it came out of a can. Biscuits were soggy. Hash brown patties were greasy and still frozen in the center. The cook over salted every dish serves in our party. Coffee taste burned. We should have read review prior. read more

Green chili breakfast burrito was great! Good coffee and service as well. Good atmosphere, would recommend and I'll be back

This is another place. It's got great food. The cook is the owner and he works real hard.

Yikes- avoid this place. It's set up in a little house and it seems like it's one lady the runs the place. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on ciabatta to go. The menu states the above ingredients- bacon, egg, cheese and ciabatta. I paid almost $10 for the sandwich and even left a tip. I drive a few miles to let it cool off and open up the box to find the sandwich is dripping with white liquid. The bottom layer of ciabatta is soggy and falling apart due to being saturated in liquid. It looked like Mayo to me which is not an ingredient that was listed on the menu. I am one of those few people who is allergic to Mayo even though I can have eggs. I called to inquire if they put Mayo on the breakfast sandwich. I was very polite and simply said I was just in and noticed white condiment is it Mayo. The lady seemed annoyed and said yes we put a little Mayo and butter on it too in a snappy demeanor and slammed the phone down hanging up on me. I didn't have the time to drive back and try to get a refund or replacement sandwich given that I got it to go because I was on my way elsewhere. I don't think she would've been very accommodating if I had made the trip. Aside from the lack of accuracy on the menu, the sandwich was ready way too fast. The eggs were watery. Bacon was the skimpy flavorless microwaved kind. The top part of the ciabatta was hard, seemingly from being microwaved, definitely not toasted. The place lacks hospitality and I regret leaving her a tip. I'll never go back. read more

You can tell the people mean well but holy smokes one of the worst breakfasts I have ever had. All six of our party barely ate the food. Apparently it is all microwaved?? Why can't I have normal fried eggs at breakfast spot?? We actually thought the waitress was just joking when she said no, and that she couldn't "put the egg back in the shell." Coffee was horrendous. Truly don't know how this place is in business. It's like someone demoed their kitchen and is serving hospital food out of it. A heads up - the "red chili" breakfast burrito is ACTUALLY CHILI. Like, bean chili. That should be clarified as that is NOT the usual definition. read more

We have been customers for many years. The food is fresh and good. Favorites, Bear claw bread, melt in your mouth dinner type roll and the breakfasts burritos. The owners are super nice and want to make people happy. read more

Amazing food and wonderful people and exactly what I needed for my first restaurant experience since Covid started. Everyone is wearing masks and their tables are set up in a way that encourages social distancing. Luckily there was only one person on the patio at any time while I was here but it looks like they have good pick-up/delivery business. I'm glad to see that everyone is observing good practices. The burrito was delicious and I understand why they are on the "Epic 3 Day Restaurant Road Trip" guide for Colorado. Absolutely great pricing and you get coffee with free refills for it and it up being a $14 tab after tax ($17 after tip). read more

I can't say enough good about this place The Famous Green Chili Burrito is one of the best I've ever eaten. The service is top notch and the owner is very friendly and welcoming. My riding partner declares that you must get the Papa Bear it's worth staying an extra day in town just to eat one. read more

Light House Eatery - Famous Green Chili Burrito More thumbs up than I have - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montrose, Colorado

Veggie scramble was flavorless and swimming in grease. Chef special was anemic looking scrambled eggs placed on top of soggy hashbrowns. Coffee was barely warm and weak. The bear paw biscuits needed another 5 minutes in the oven because the center tasted like raw dough. Again, too much butter ladled on the buscuits. I had to go inside and ask for salt and pepper. The two ladies waiting on us were pleasant and sweet but overall my breakfast was a big disappointment. I hate paying for breakfast knowing I could have made something healthier and better tasting at my campsite. read more

We discovered this delightful house quite by accident, but what a wonderful accident it was! We're not big eaters so we shared the Fruit and Nut Salad and the Italian Roast Beef Au Jus. There was just enough for the two of us. The salad was amazing, the Cheesy Potatoes were super, and the Beef was so tender, we didn't need a knife. I don't know what made it so special, but the bread was to die for! But the best part was Kim, the owner. She was super! I wonder if she'd consider moving to Orem, UT? Linda and Paul read more

Eating at the Light House in Montrose was like stepping back in time. Not in the sense of traveling back to a better era, but rather like actually having time crawl slowly backwards. We arrived at 9am and received some help around 9:24. Then we waited patiently for the arrival of our single (not very enthralling) burrito, sinking slowly into a molasses-like torpor. What felt like 3 or 4 more hours passed before we finally paid the check. Ironically, "Hotel California" was playing quietly in the background as we made our getaway. Although other breakfast joints in Montrose sounded even less appealing, next time we'll choose a different spot. read more

Owner pleasant and very proud of their food. Unfortunately way too much butter/grease on everything. My burrito was soggy and unpleasant. I paid for the few bites I managed to consume into the next day. read more

We sat outside. The service was adequate, but not spectacular. Our server brought us coffee in Dixie to go cups. She stated they hadn't done the morning dishes. I'm not sure why the to -go cups annoyed me. The coffee was a bit on the weak side. No condiments were available on the outside tables. The food was okay. I ordered Biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs. The eggs were very good. The Biscuits and gravy was fair. The gravy was room temperature. The Biscuits were so moist I had to use a spoon. Not sure if that was good or bad. We seen our server when we ordered and received our food. No follow up or a coffee top off. Over all, it was an okay experience. You should give it a try. I won't return. *The cinnamon roll centers were good. read more

Found this place on a road trip. The green chili burrito was just as advertised, amazing and the Papa is big enough to share. Coffee fans, delicious brew and real cream, hello?! We got the last piece of the Apple-EE ever after, omg. You must try. Definitely a gem, if we lived here this would be a must-go every time. read more

For starters, the woman who helped up was amazing, she was so excited about the food that she was serving and you could easily tell that it was genuine. I wish I had one of these in my hometown just for the amazing customer service! My friend and I ordered the 'porridge' because we needed something easy to-go. Definitely a very sweet breakfast and not a traditional savory breakfast. If we had more time I would've ordered one of the more savory recommendations from the woman who helped us out! read more

Was very disappointed in the breakfast, choice was scrambled, scrambled, or scrambled. Everything seems to be cooked in the microwave and was tasteless. Very nice people running the place read more

We should have taken warning from all the trendy buzzwords on their sign outside that don't apply at all and the cutsie decor on the interior walls. The ladies running this place are trying hard to make a nice experience, but there are just so many problems. For starters, they label themselves a coffee "shoppe", yet when I ordered a normal cup of brewed coffee, it took more than 10 minutes and they were not busy at all. On top of that, the coffee I received was just not very good and had been flavored with something weird, like some kind of artificial vanilla and it was sweet - all I wanted was a cup of coffee. Also their pricing schemes don't seem to make any sense (see menu photos). Apparently they don't have a real kitchen (no range or hood) and just use hot plates and a microwave. It's weird that they won't serve eggs in any other form besides scrambled, claiming health concerns as the reason. Having said all that, I got the burrito with green chili and it was pretty good, but there were just so many other issues with this place that I can't really recommend it. read more

I'm a big fan of breakfast burritos and I was looking for a place in town for one since my usual place was closed. Decided to try this place since on their yelp page it says they have burritos with award winning green chili sauce. They didn't have a ton on their menu so I stuck with what I thought was an easy bet. I'm not entirely sure if they were having an off day or what but this was one on the most tasteless breakfast burritos I've ever had and the green chili sauce tasted like canned green chili, canned stewed tomatoes and vinegar. It wasn't a very professional setting though I will say the lady was very friendly! read more

I had a delicious hatch green chili burrito with a side of bear paw bread. Both were great. The bear paw bread was a fresh dinner roll with butter and some green onion garnish. Waitress was friendly and gave good service. Worth a stop! read more

I have no idea why this place has 4 Stars - It was the worst Breakfast Burrito I've ever had and the Green Chili was bland and made with canned chili, I rarely write reviews but dang. Terrible and wish I would have spent 11 bucks somewhere else !! read more

Our family of five stopped at McDonald's for breakfast. We saw this place across the street though and decided to give it a try. We ordered a variety of things including their little cinnamon rolls, breakfast sandwiches, and egg scramble bowls. Nothing was very good, except for the cinnamon rolls which were just OK. Everyone in the family agreed the food was mediocre at best. The people were friendly and the service was fine. The food just wasn't any good. The breakfast sandwich bread was soggy and the sauce on the sandwich was WAY over-salted. I couldn't finish mine. The egg bowl eaters said the eggs didn't taste fresh and the hash browns were just frozen ones right out of the box and microwaved. Would not recommend. read more

What a great little spot in Montrose. We flew in and were on our way up to Telluride Saturday morning 8/10/19 and needed breakfast/lunch before getting on the road. My son found this place on Yelp so we tried it. Glad we did. They were at the end of their breakfast rush and were working hard to clean off tables so we could pick a seat. I heard the staff talking about an off-menu breakfast sandwich so I got that and they were nice enough to go ahead and offer lunch to my son who wanted the open face Italian sandwich. He had sausage left over so the owner came out and made him a nice to go option. She even brought him some tortillas so he could make a little burrito out of the left overs. Great customer service!!! We'll come back when we are in town. read more

This place is amazing. The host is wonderful, takes her time to give you advice on the Montrose area. Food is really really delicious, authentic homemade. Definitely will be back!! read more

We came through Montrose heading back to Denver. This place was AMAZING. Food and Service could not be better! Nothing like a WONDERFUL local restaurant. BTW. mini cinnamon rolls and Breakfast burritos were to die for!! Will be back! read more

We were visiting from out of town and stumbled across this place! It was perfect! The owners were friendly! The menu was very creative and yummy! Portion sizes are good for the price. We had brunch and each got drinks and an entree for around $10 each! I will be visiting this place next time I come to Montrose, CO! I highly recommend!! read more

Well~ even though the owner was so lovely I hate to give it only 3 stars. Service was slow, coffee wasn't that good, breakfast food wasn't that good, the order was slightly wrong... The decor was nice, and if they had more help it would be outstanding, and the heavy whipping cream in the coffee was a unique twist on coffee creamer. I liked my smothered burrito, but my son didn't touch his biscuits in gravy (perhaps not the restaurant's fault!) and my moms' egg scramble came out cold and we asked to reheat it. I wouldn't write this place off. If you have plenty of time and want a pretty place to hang out, this might be the place for you. read more

The outside patio was really nice and we loved getting to spend the morning outside. The food however, simply put, was not good. The eggs and potatoes felt and tasted like they were microwaved. I recognize that good food is subjective but if you're expecting breakfast food that has any texture or bite you'll be disappointed. read more

Very good food. Burrito was awesome and the bread is really good too.The owners are the epitome of what any hard working Americans are trying to achieve. In a world where the " Ma and Pa business ", is not so common anymore, it is great to see good people doing well. What a gem. read more

This is a nice place to grab a coffee and a bite to eat. The coffee is good, and contrary to what some other reviewers stated, it is quite normal. Nothing exotic. We had both the green chili and red chili breakfast burritos, and they were both very good. And enormous...an excellent value. I left stuffed and happy. The environment is nice, and the service is top notch. I plan to return, and I plan to try the biscuits and gravy when I do. read more

Light House Eatery is welcoming, friendly, and delicious. I came in for breakfast and was delighted with a veggie scramble with "bear paw bread", a huge, fluffy roll right out of the oven. I would come back just for that, though the eggs wonderful as well. Cute, friendly little place with great food and very reasonable prices. Check it out! read more

Really good homemade food, cute mom and pop cafe. These people care about their place and enjoy their patron.

Very pleased with the service; they are very accommodating! The food is really tasty! A bear paw with honey is a must try read more

This meal made our vacation notes as a must-stop next trip too. An intimate dining room and the friendliest owners & staff coupled with remarkable food, nothing could have been improved upon. The Italian sausage & marinara sauce open face sandwich was excellent and the soups were all wonderful. The breads are all homemade and with an almond iced latte we almost set up a tent in the front yard just to be able to eat there all week. Worth seeking it out, thanks to Yelp for guiding us there. read more

We felt so welcomed here, as if we were guests in someone's home. And the food was fresh and tasty. We will definitely stop by again the next time we are in Montrose. read more

PLEASE listen to some of the other 1-2 star reviews, they all say the same thing, and my experience was no different. I have no idea why their green chili burrito gets talked up so much. It had barely cooked bagged shredded potatoes, powdered eggs, the salsa and green chili on top was extremely bland, and the tortilla was soggy as soon as we got it. Oh, and we found random pieces of chicken in the burrito. We ordered a side of bacon to go on top, since they don't include any meat in the burrito, and got two strips of microwave bacon for $2.75 extra. Coffee was just flavored junk. The lady was very nice, only reason they get two stars. Please go somewhere else. read more
